Archive material – an appeal from Harden Players

We are hoping to archive a history of Players’ performances from its long and distinguished past – partly in memory of Brian Foster, who was an active member for many years, but also as a way of celebrating the continuity and changes embodied in such a thriving community organisation. If you have any photographs, or old copies of programmes, posters, scripts or recordings (Betamax and VHS welcomed!), we would love to get them digitised. Please contact the Players on hardenplayers@hotmail.co.uk
